Agree, some of the bowling from Broad and Anderson was appalling. Why they were bowling short to a number 11 I have no idea.
The less said about the batting the better, 86-1 to 179 all out. Only Cook and KP come out with any sort of credit.
This tour is even worse than the 06/07 tour, in that tour we were facing the all time greats of Warne, Mcgrath, Lee and then the batting of Ponting, Hayden, Langer and Gilchrist. Whereas this time, were getting bowled out by the likes of Nathan Lyon. As difficult as it was to accept losing 5-0 in 06/07, I could stomach it somewhat because we were losing to one of the best teams world cricket has seen, but this time? No, it is just **** embarrassing.
Catalogue of collapses
Brisbane: England lost six wickets for nine runs in their first innings and 4-9 in their second.
Adelaide: England lost 6-24 in their first innings of 172 all out.
Perth: Five wickets fall for 43 in first innings 251.
Melbourne: England lost their last six first innings wickets for 53 and their last five for only six second time round.
Yes 5 wickets for Lyon on a day three pitch at Melbourne is a disgrace.
